capricho
if there’s anything that exceeds the cost of my phone bills, it’s this:
if there’s anything that makes me wish wealth, it is the assurance that i could afford to amass all the books i set my fancy on. when i was in the pits of poverty, the dream of building a library someday is the pulley that inspired me to haul off the gunk.
i am still poor now, thank you very much, but with what is left with my meager wage, i willfully waste in bookstores. yesterday, i paid another trip there and went home a great deal poorer, but happier.

(featured books are music biographies, my latest addiction)
lovely selection. if only i’d make the time to read more….
keep up the diverse influences…but despite the beauty in each of these lives….there is oft found a darkness to each of these “Stars”… Part of it comes from the introspection they use to create their music…but lest we not be blinded from other greater/positive sources of beauty and creativity outside of ourselves!
